Esteemed Reflectees,
I just finished putting up a full size 75 meter 1/4 wave vertical. Roof
mounted (actually next to the roof but close enough). Of course all radials
are elevated. Six of them are 46 feet long. Two are 66 feet long. Open wire
feed is 450 ohms.
I am using it on all bands 80-10 meters. Really seems to hear and xmit well
(subjection only). Was wondering what the take off angle is on the other non
75 meter bands?? Does it get lower as the freq increases or does it get
really complex??
I ran one of these five years while working out at White Sands and was
impressed. I plan on testing it on 160 meters.
Comments please.
